Without configuring anything The Sony remote works for the

I assume all I need to do is use mythfrontend Setup ->

Yes - that is the way to do it, but you may find some
buttons are not detected at all. Unfortunately many buttons
are not passed though by some TVs. Also the CEC response is
sometimes very slow with Raspberry pi 2 and 3. Maybe it is
better with pi 4.

Thanks, I got the select, stop, pause and play buttons working
along with the arrows, so that's all I need.
<br>
<br>
You are right about the slowness of the CEC response. For my
application it's works and it better than rigging yet another
remote

I am using the following occasionally on my RPis and it works
well. Good thing is it has a qwerty keyboard on the backside of
the remote and works like a regular keyboard. No LIRC drivers or
any other ‘funny business’.

At $14.99 you can't go wrong. Just bought one, should be here
tomorrow. I actually have a full sized IOgear keyboard with
trackball/mouse. It works well for me as I can remember all the
keyboard commands. The Wife, not so much :-)

<p>I have been using remotes similar to this one for several years,
and they are mostly great. The only oddity is that some of the
keys generate mouse events rather than keypresses. This article
hints at the remote's features and quirks:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Air_mouse_rf_remote">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Air_mouse_rf_remote</a></p>
<p>Most important is this quote: "<span style="color: rgb(37, 37,

key (with the “U-turn” arrow) generates the right mouse button
whether the mouse is on or off and probably can't be used for
other purposes." Well, it can, if you use xbindkeys, similar to
this article:</span></p>
